Wanting to access iTunes library on our iMac from our Mac Book Pro

Hello - Can anyone help?
Wanting to access iTunes library on our iMac from our Mac Book Pro - home sharing is switched on and can play both via Apple TV but how do I copy a playlist from the IMAC library to my library on the Mac book pro.

Hi Michael and thanks for your help.
I had worked out how to play the itunes library as I did find that page but I can't copy anything.
As soon as I click on Music (from the shared library on the Library-pop-up-menu) I get my husbands library which is good and we can play it. But we cant figure out how to copy and cant  do step 2 (as per below) as we can't find the "Show menu at the bottom of the iTunes window, choose “Items not in my library.” Any further advice?
Many thanks...Elaine
Import items from other libraries using Home Sharing
Choose a computer on your Home Sharing network from the Library pop-up menu.The library loads and a list of categories appears.
Choose a category (Music, for example).
In the Show menu at the bottom of the iTunes window, choose “Items not in my library.”
Select the items you want to import, and click Import.

  • I am finding it difficult to transfer a set of apps to my imac from my mac book pro

    I am finding it difficult to transfer a set of apps to my imac from my mac book pro, when i go into my imac i see them on the "list" but I dont see any way to download or sync those selected new apps I just purchase.    I do see the apps that i have purchased on my imac on the same list.   I had no problem syncing them to my iphone..Help ?
    MacBook Pro, iOS 6.1.4, nned to transfer App from mac book

    There's no need to transfer apps from one Mac to another.
    Launch the App Store on the iMac and sign in using the same Apple ID and password used for downloading the apps on the MBPro.
    Then click Purchases from the menu top of the App Store window.
    By the way. Apps that run on an iPhone (iOS based device) cannot run on a Mac = Mac OS X. Two different operating systems.
    iTunes Store for the iPhone.
    Mac App Store for your Macs.

  • Move itunes library to new Account on same mac book pro

    I created a new account (account 2)  on my mac and my itunes did not automatically move all data in itunes on my old account  (Account 1)
    I opened up the sharing in system preferences and I have clicked on file sharing, and see both accounts . But No music in my itunes library.
    How do I get the music ??
    Thanks

    Move it to /Users/Shared/ and then into account 2's Music folder, or drag the folder directly there and authenticate yourself.

  • How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs

    How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac? Thanks a lot. Carlo Molinari (Rome - Italy)

    How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac?
    The following are the basic steps to transfer your iTunes Media folder from your MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule (TC). Note: You will leave the iTunes Library, and its associated files, on the MacBook Pro as you will only be moving the media files.
    Be sure to shutdown iTunes before starting.
    Next, move the "iTunes Music" folder, located in ~/Music/iTunes/, to wherever you want on your TC's internal hard drive. Remember to leave the Album Artwork folder, as well as the three individual library files where they are on the MacBook Pro.
    Wait a while. If you have a large library, this will take a bit of time.
    Once the iTunes Media folder has been transferred, open iTunes. Note: It will still be looking at your local iTunes Library on the MBP. As such it will think that the iTunes Media folder is still on the MBP as well. However, we just relocated it to the TC. If you attempt to select any song, you will get an error that the song is "missing." Not to worry, we will correct this in the next step.
    We need to tell iTunes the media has moved to the TC's internal HDD. To change where iTunes "looks" for the media, open iTunes and go to the Advanced > General tab and use the "Change..." button to tell it where your new "iTunes Music" library is located.
    Once this is done iTunes will likely pop up a progress window telling you that it's re-analyzing your library. Let it complete this step.
    As a final check to make sure everything when as planned, click on any library file from within iTunes and press cmd + i (or View > Get Info). At the bottom of the Summary tab in that window is a "Where:" section that tells you the actual file path to that piece of media; be sure that path begins with the name of your TC's drive, and not "Macintosh HD."

  • Trying to add our Epson 4800 after updating 10.8.3. our iMac is shutting down and so is our Mac Book Pro.

    Trying to add our Epson 4800 after update 10.8.3 our iMac is shutting down and so is our Mac Book Pro. Any advise??

    Thank you Linc. We just half solved our problem. The update 10.8.3 has a bug for using our printer with a special kodak proback firewire cable by don't giving a support. So we skipped the old way by downloading a new driver,
    using an USB cable and adding our printer again and it works. The reactions of collegues and those on the Apple site showed us that the update 10.8.3 is having a major problem.

  • Was wondering if it is possible to sync the folders in mac mail on my imac to my mac book pro rather than recreating them

    was wondering if it is possible to sync the folders in mac mail on my imac to my mac book pro rather than recreating them

    There are two standard protocols for receiving email, POP and IMAP. In the POP (Post Office Protocol) when messages are "read" by your email client (Mail) they are downloaded and stored on the reading computer and deleted from the POP server. When you are using IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) the messages remain on the IMAP server until they are deleted. IMAP was created for exactly the situation you are trying to achieve. For example Apple's iCloud (formerly me.com, formerly mac.com) uses IMAP protocol. So whether I access my email on my Mac, my iPhone, my iPad, or via webmail I have access to all the files in all the various mailboxes automatically because they are all seeing and using the same online mailboxes. If I delete a message on any of the varioius devices it is deleted on all of the various devices.
    Whether you can use IMAP protocol or not depends on your email host and whether they have an IMAP server or not. Many ISPs do not offer IMAP because they do not want to bear the expense of the additional disk space required to store the IMAP messages. As I mentioned before Apple's free email service is by default IMAP. Google Mail offers a somewhat non-standard IMAP service. It works with Apple's email client, Mail, but it is just a bit "different".
    Personally I resisted using IMAP for years. Largely because I had always used POP and was comfortable with it. Once I got an iPhone and needed to synch my email between my computer and iPhone I realized IMAP was "the only way to go."

  • We had our MAC book Pro stolen and we registered it with Apple. Is there any way to recover the serial number for police reports if the receipt does not have the serial number on it? Thx

    We had our Mac Book Pro stolen and have not been able to recover the serial number from our Best Buy receipt. We did register it with Apple during the set-up and downloaded music on it thru ITunes.  Any chance we can recover the serial number from somewhere?  Any details would be helpful.  Thank you!

    You can try going here, using the same AppleID you used on the machine:

  • If one buys pages , can i download it and run it on my desktop AND my laptop or do I have to buy it twice? its only me using one machine at any one time. (Have recently purchased a second hand iMac and secondhand Mac book pro 17")

    If one buys pages , can i download it and run it on my desktop AND my laptop or do I have to buy it twice? its only me using one machine at any one time. (Have recently purchased a second hand iMac and secondhand Mac book pro 17")

    I have a couple or dozen or so excel spread shheets that I use origionally created in M/s Excel v.5.0 ( yup some time ago although have run and updated them on office 2007  perfectly etc.  AND numerous word files that I refer to. I have also run these files using Open Office on a small 13" mac Book Pro. successfully.
       I have now decided to change my personal use computers > macs.
    Ok, so in summary then i think you kind guys are saying:
    (1) That if i buy Pages & Numbers or even iworks which is Apple's suite of such programs i believe, then I can download and Run these apps /programs on each my personal  mac computers whether they be my second hand Imac or second hand 17" mac book pro. ( basically i have purchased these so that I am converting to the "Apple Side" and can use the Imac desktop while at home and Mac book pro when out and about) , under the one purchase and one licence.
    (2) The decision as to whether to Buy M/s Office for Mac v Pages & Numbers or the iworks suite is that if I have lots of MACROs in my existing files written in M/soft that it would be better to go for M/s Office for Mac. I understand that Macros are the automated thingys ?? I have formulae obviously inthe fairly simple spread sheets but not aware of any macros. So I guess that means ~ I could purchase either product by the sounds of it. yes? Are there any other obvious things i need to consider?
    Other INFO:
    Also, I have snow leopard on one system and Maveric ( pretty impresive!) on the other. i am slightly reluctant to upgrade the snow leopard o/s as I would have to upgrade the paralles software and probably Windows software as well in order to run an old Kitchen, drawing program that I use occaisionally. I know that one should be able to partition / and Boot camp but I really don't want to do that. I feel at this stage its not worth payingtoi up grade all these bits of software for something I rarely use. But I am open to anyones comments / views.
    Thanks.

  • I want to transfer some mp3 files to my iPad from my Mac book pro...is this do-able and if so how do I do it?

    I want to transfer some MP3 files from my Mac book pro to my Ipad.....is that doable?  I have connected my Ipad to my Mac but I don't see where to sync them together.
    HELP please!!!

    The first thing that you should probably do is to turn off auto syncing just in case....or have you already done that?
    Launch iTunes and got to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing.
    Now you will have to launch iTunes on your own when you connect the iPad to the Mac. After you connect and start iTunes, click on your device, them click on the Summary Window. If you uncheck Manually Manage, etc. - then the option to select Sync only Selected Songs and Videos should be available. I don't think you can have both options selected at the same time.
    You should also transfer your purchased music into iTunes is you haven't done that yet. Take a look at this now.
    Transfer purchases.

    After you transfer purchases, You should be able to select and choose whatever you want to sync with regard to music, playlists, albums, etc ...as well as apps, photos and so on.

    Entourage is a third party app so stop down to the Microsoft support forums. In any case I would suspect in its preferences there would be a selection as to when (parameters) incoming mail should be deleted from the server.

  • Hi and I bought Lion and I Photo 11 yesterday and now I want to install these at no cost on my 2nd Mac Book Pro?

    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase and you will not be charged again.

  • When I FaceTime my wife from iPad her iPhone rings but not our Mac book pro. They both used to ring. Mac book pro FaceTime doesn't seem to be able to send or receive FT calls

    When calling from the Mac book pro it shows up on my iPad and will say connecting but never connects. On the Mac book it just keeps ringing

    I can't believe it!!  But this answers my question.  I pair up quickly between my iphone5 and iMac, but cannot transfer pics from my iphone to the iMac over Bluetooth as I expeceted I would easily be able to do.  After all, I did this with my old Mac and a simple Motorola cell phone years ago.
    So, the answer is that file transfer from iphone5 is not supported.  Really!!
    Not sure why capabilites have regressed, this is disappointing, but thanks for the answer, at least I know to stop beating my head against the wall searching for some hidden box to check.  This seemed like such an obvious capability between Apple devices I couldn't understand why I was having such difficulty.  It seemed like it would be seamless, but it can't be done.  Baffling.
